Tired of Jeff and his greed. He’s a trillionaire. He can pay his workers 50 thou a year.

Still pathetic I see! When I worked there they would offer swag bucks as an incentive to increase scan rates. Those swag bucks were only good towards Amazon merch. I'd tell them to keep the merch & give us more money. All they could do was laugh. Guess they thought I was joking.

Will the workers walk tho' ..... ?

Idea for new T-shirt: My CEO got billions, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt

On the back they say 'I put my life on the line for your free delivery and all I got was this t-shirt'.

How demeaning a gesture. A fucking T shirt
